Lyrics of Un Vestido Y Un Amor - Caetano Veloso

Un Vestido Y Un Amor (original)

Te vi, juntabas margaritas del mantel
Ya se que te trate bastante mal
Y no se si eras un ángel o un rubí
O simplemente te vi
Te vi, saliste entre la gente a saludar
Los astros se rieron otra vez
La llave de Mandala se quebró
O simplemente te vi
Todo lo que diga esta de más
Las luces siempre encienden en el alma
Y cuando me pierdo en la ciudad
Vos ya sabes comprender
Es solo un rato no más
Tendría que llorar o salir a matar
Te vi, te vi, te vi
Y yo no buscaba a nadie y te vi
Te vi
Fumabas unos chinos en Madrid
Hay cosas que te ayudan a vivir
No hacias otra cosa que escribir
Y yo simplemente te vi
Me fui
Me voy de vez en cuando a algun lugar
Ya se no te hace gracia este país
Tenías un vestido y un amor
Y yo simplemente te vi
Todo lo que diga esta de más …

(translation)

I saw you, you gathered daisies from the tablecloth
I know I treated you pretty bad
And I don't know if you were an angel or a ruby
Or did I just see you
I saw you, you went out among the people to say hello
The stars laughed again
Mandala's key broke
Or did I just see you
Everything that I say is too much
The lights always turn on in the soul
And when I get lost in the city
You already know how to understand
It's just a little while no more
I'd have to cry or go out for the kill
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
And I wasn't looking for anyone and I saw you
I saw you
You smoked some Chinese in Madrid
There are things that help you live
You didn't do anything but write
And I just saw you
I left
I go somewhere from time to time
I know you don't like this country
You had a dress and a love
And I just saw you
Everything that I say is too much...
